PUNISHMENT FOR ALL
“The old order changeth, yielding place to new,” according to the bard and history has repeated Itself at U- S. C. in the case of the “Love, Honor and Obey Tank,” but the question is, What shall succeed the time-honored institution?
Interviews with freshmen students, ®ost vitally concerned ln the change, show a diversity of opinions, but a rather strong inclination toward the old tub.
“Paddle them, if you can’t tub them any more,” stated Lowell Trautman. "But I favor the second method.” (Freshman days are nearly over, aren’t they, Lowell?)
Marjorie McComber, like a dutiful little secretary, agreed with the former president. “Others have been tubbed," added Marjorie.
But Dot Russell, last semester’s vice-president, had ideas of her own. "Why not force the offenders to wear bright green overalls?" she seriously
suggested.
Rah-Rah Harry Kennedy would keep •he tank, bul belelved those favored hy its use should be only those richly
deserving of the honor.
Mildred Bryant, who assists Al Greenstreet in directing the destinies of the class of ’24, said: “Keep the **nk for the guilty freshman; do not duck everyone; do not be unneces-•arily rough, but keep the tank ” (No doubt about her 'pinion, Is there?)

To the Associated Student Body,
University of Southern California: There has been some misunderstanding in the student body regarding the eligibility requirements for the office of president of the Associated Student Body. The following quotation from the constitution and statement from the Assistant Registrar will remove all doubt on the question: Article 2, Section 3, of the revised A. S. B. constitution: “The president of the association shall have completed three years of collegiate work at the University of Southern California or its equivalent, and shall have attended this University at least one year preceding installation."
Although the Executive Committee s given the right “to determine the eligibility of all candidates for all offices of the association” (Article 4, Section 2, Clause 2), its decision in the cases of the two men petitioning for candidacy for the office of student body president has been based upon the following ruling of the Registrar’s office:
May 3, 1921.
To Whom It May Concern:
A full year of collegiate work is estimated at 30 units, three years at 90 units.
(Signed) MABEL RUSSELL,
Assistant Registrar. Under the circumstances the executive committee has made the only decision possible, and appeals to the students for their co-operation in up holding the constitution.
GWYNN WILSON, President A. S. B.
Away with Men! Vive la Feminine!
Avaunt! vile creature, man!
Woman, long deprived of her right ful position in this Institution dedi cated to the high cause of learning
(craps and political intrigue), is to rise for a brief interval above the domineering power of the masculine element. Thursday is to be Woman's l)av—as If all days weren’t really hers! Not only is the day to be purely her possession, but the campus also—completely and utterly hers The long-suffering chapel will be filled with only fair feminine faces. In the afternoon the tennis courts will be ruled by les femme, with no danger of the usual situation obtaining, viz., a s«ang of tennis cave men taking sole possession of the courts for hours at a time.
Ye men, prepare to become a part of our beauteous landscape on tlie morrow. No greater prominence will lie yours. Your manly presence will form not so conspicuous a part in our maiden’s thought as the wee birdies on the telephone wires.
Ah! Woman on the throne!
Would that it were permanent' But, knowing the nature of tho base beast man, ’tis feared that with disregard ing force he will sweep aside the frail battlements of woman and resume his arrogant and selsh way. But list' Who knows? Perhaps a taste of the sweet nectar of supremacy may whet woman’s ambition. Mayhap new vigoi and fresh zeal will pervade her being and she will keep mere man in this lowly state of insignlcance In the

About sixty people were present i our athletic affairs. What s the world After the banquet the remainder of coming to, brothers? Whither are we the evening was spent in dancing, drifting?
Owing to the fact that the execu tive committee has postponed nominations and elections for one week the expected campaign excitement which the whole student body was looking for Is not present.
The fact that the two candidates Helchert and Scott, were voted lneli gible by the committee does not show that the candidates are necessarily at fault nor does It show that the com mittee has any personal animosity toward either of the candidates, merely proves that the committee Is sticking to the constitution.
New Timber Sought Once more will petitions nominating presidents be circulated on the campus. Now the Tix family will have to worry Its collective heads about the possibilities. We, the family, can see no one and we hope that the backers of the two new ones will look care fully Into the qualifications before the petitions are sent on the weary rounds. There is a whole lot of work connected with the signing of a peti tion and it seems a shame that the candidates were not more careful In their investigations as to the number of credits and marks
Committee Busy Monday afternoon the committee met and looked Into the qualifications of a score of office seekers. It seems that several prospective office holders were ruled out along with the presl dential candidates.
Petitions have been signed which will force the calling of a special meeting of the student body tomorrow noon. A move is on foot to change the constitution in regards to the number of credits necessary to make a man eligible for the presidency. The constitution demands three years of college work and the office has set 90 units as tbe number of units that stands for three years’ work.
When the executive committee made the constitution last year It was flrst decided that 96 units should be the minimum number that would make a candidate eligible. Later lt was changed to 90 as the absolute minimum. Those in authority state that any attempt to lower that standard would be detrimental to the Interests of scholarship and progress of the university.
8maller Fry Running
The vice-presidents line up as they did last week and the committee has passed on all of them. The postponement makes It possible for anyone who wishes to enter the race to do so. Cora Baker, Gladys Crail, Blanche Gathier and Reeta Walker are the likely damsels who will scramble for votes.
Athletic manager Is still up ln the air, no candidates having bb yet made the grade of qualification and eligibility.
The executive committee has called a good many well known men and women on the campus. So far there are four men and four women up for tlie Job. Tills should moke the scrap an interesting one. Muriel Arkley. Albert Butterfield, Ed. Fisher, Florence Gilbert, Charles Miller, Helen Toby and Marquita Wardman are the ones who are seeking to run the outfit next year.
Editor Stuff
Both candidates for editor-in chief of the Trojan passed the executive com mittee with flying colors. It Is expected that both Farman and Wiles will put up a good fight.
Report has it that Louise Kidson will withdraw from the race for El Rodeo editor. This will leave the world to Sally and to Al in other words, Sarah Taft Somers and Al Wesson. Young Wesson rather went on the warpath the other day when lt was reported to him that juniors thought that he was going to run for manager instead of editor of the year book. He wants it emphatically understood that he Is after tbe editorship and nothliig else.
Saturday evening the new national entertained at a formel reception the faculty of U. S. C., all tho Greek letter organizations on the campus, and the general student body ln honor of Miss Agnes Husband, the national of fleer who came from the East last week for installation.
Delta Delta De!tn was founded on Thanksgiving eve in Boston, Mass. There are now sixty-two chapters in existence, with sixty-five alumnae associations. The total membership Is 9.000, the active membership 1,200. The pin Ib a crescent enclosing three stars and bearing three Deltas.

Installation followed the announcement of the granting of the charter, which information was received from the national office of the sorority six weeks ago.
Initiation ceremonies were completed last Friday and were followed by an Installation banquet at the Hotel Ambassador that evening. Covers were laid for seventy-five guests, which Included Tri-Deltas of the city alliance chapter and resident members, as well aB the new group. Mrs. John J. Abramson, a prominent club woman of the city, presided as toast

During the war various war relief activities were supported, prominent among them the recreational center for munition workers at Tours, France. This enterprise was maintained in cooperation with the Y. W. C. A., but was financed entirely by the sorority.
At present an organization, similar to the Y. W. C. A. of this country, Ib maintained .'t Coucy, France. Other philanthropic work is carried on ln the states.
Chi Delta Phi was established, as a sorority composed of seventeen girls, ln the spring of 1916. The following year lt was decided to petition a national nnd Delta Delta Delta was the fraternity choBen. After four years of active petitioning a charter was granted.
Twenty-eight girls In all were Initiated. Of these, eight were alumnae graduates. The chapter roll Includes: Gladys Hill. Helen Naismith, Ruth Marie Smith, Dorothy Shurr Southerland, Luna E.

NEW TRADITION OF CAMPUS DAY IS TO BE ESTABLISHED
Campus Day, a new event at the university, will take place on Thurs day. May 12, If proposed plans inaugurated Monday by William M. Bowen and already backed up by a number of university oragnizations go through according to schedule. The occasion Is to be the co-operation of the entire student body in planting donated shrubs and palms and laying 10,000 square feet of sod in front of the Administration Building, in order that the outside of the structure may be as attractive as the Inside for the commencement exercises of the class of 1921.
Faced with the problem of beauti fylng the exterior of the new building by the end of the semester—a Job which woyld take an ordinary concern many weeks. Mr. Bowen con celved the plan of having a day or part of a day set aside by the students ln which they would undertake tho task of planting the plot In front of the building ln shrubs, palms and sod, tbe latter tc be delivered to the grounds. Tho executive committee has backed up the proposition one hundred per cent, and Monday night a number of the Greek letter organ--Izations gave It their endorsement.
Up to 8tudent Body rriie plan has already secured the unqualified approval of everyone be-foro whom lt has been placed, but no chance up to today has come for putting It up to the students of the entire university. It calls for one afternoon, Thursday, May 12, to be reserved by the men of the student body for coming In their old clothes nd working as long as may be nc;ceB-sary for the planting of the space in front of the new building. The co-eds an do their share to lighten the bur-len« of the manual laborers by serv-ng punch along with every six pieces of sod transnorted to their final resl-ng place. The planting of one palm ree by five men entitles each man to glass or two along with a churning smile from the damsels In attendance at that particular punch bowl. Further details will be arranged.
Organization Under Way For a project placed before the students so recently, Campus Day
GYM DIRECTOR LEAVES ON ILLNESS OF MOTHER
Mr. H. R. Lee, gymnasium director of IJ. S C„ left last week for Chicago, where his mother has been reported as dangerously ill Due to her seri ous condition Mr. Lee felt that it was Imperative to leave at this time. He was In the midst of a busy season as be was directing boxing, wrestling, gymnasium and swimming up until the time of Ills departure.
His place Is being filled by Ralph La Porte. In charge of athletics at U S. C., with Lawrence Toothacker and Howard Butterfield as assistants to Mr. La Porte Mr. Lee is expected to be back at U. S. C. to direct the summer work.
has gathered a high degree of momentum behind It, and it now remains for the students to give It their support and aid. C. C. Scott has been appointed as student head of the proposal and will have committees working up enthusiasm before long. William M. Bowen, originator and chief director of the plan. Is commander-ln-chlef. With the Impetus already given under such leadership, the opinion is freely expressed that the student body will give the plan active and practical aid. To have a day which will be set aside lor an object as definitely practical as tho improvement of the new building ip an innovation In the University of Southern California, although other colleges have had such plans put over vlth a high degree of success.
W. M. Bowen Originator
The wish has been freely expressed emong the students that the Administration Building would be in perfect condition by the end of the semester. It remained, however, for William Bowen of the Board of Trustees to make the wish possible of achievement, and he has been actively working toward that end In the post few days. A sprinkling system was necessary and through Mr. John Metz he succeeded In securing Howe Brothers, of this city, to donate the plumbing necessnry for this system. The value of this Is $350,
In addition, shrubs and palms, to tho value of $700, have been given o the university by Fred Howard, of Howard and Smith, florists. Extra sod from Exposition Park has been secured by Mr. Bowen, and the services of the engineers of the unlver-i-lty have been promised by Professor Cook, ot that department, for the lev-ilng of the ground for the placing of the sod.
Now comes the opportunity of the student body to take advantage of material at hand and put the proposed plan across with a burst of greater university spirit. The financial worth of the planting will be in excess of $2,000, and every student has an opportunity to make his gift to the Commemoration Fund of $300,000- to be secured by Commencement Day—by displaying a spurt of honest toll a week from tomorrow,
LEAGUE CABINET8
Following the election of officers for the coming year at the meeting of tbe Epworth league at University Church last Sunday, a Joint meeting of new and old cabinets had been announced for Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock at University Church. The new cabinet Includes: Lambert Baker, Lydia
Glover, I.ols Adams, Helen Tobie, I^e Roy Wolfe, Lucy Huse, Lucille Stanley, Reuel Olson, Alice Uolln.
